Product introduction In the Iranian Empire before 1978, the then king, Pahlavi II, purchased a large number of land and air weapons from Western countries with so-called "oil money" in order to achieve military superiority in the Middle East region and to be wary of the neighboring Soviet Union. The F-4D was followed by the F-4E, and in 1974, a purchase contract was made for the F-14A, and 79 F-14As were delivered to Iran from 1976 to 1978. When the Iranian Revolution occurred in February 1979, Pahlavi II resigned and the Islamic Republic of Iran, which had a strong anti-American color, was established. The United States took measures to embargo arms exports, and subsequent supplies, including replacement parts, were cut off. However, despite suffering from a decrease in operational aircraft, both models participated in the Iran-Iraq War that began in 1980. The F-14A is still in operation today. The included decals recreate the period of the introduction of the Iranian Empire and the Iran-Iraq War after the revolution.
